oWasuinetoy, April 91:"The
Bureau of Statistics of the Tress"
following report on the damage
caused agricultural interests by
the Mississippi river flood :
Since the publication on April
12 of a statement relative to the
agricultural interests of the sub-
merged districts of the Mississippi
valley south of Cairo, Ill. the
arca under water bas been con-
siderably extended. The extension
is below Vicksburg, Miss-, but on
the right or west side of the river,
and is mainly due to a break
9,000 feet in #idth, in the levee at
Biggs. Tye outflow of water at
this poise has totally submerged
tour pdrishes (counties) of Louis-
jana and partially overflowed five
others, while a break at La
Fourche crossing in the southern
sulted inthe submergence of an
additional area of nearly 300
square miles in La Fourche and
Terres Bonne parishes. In this
newly submerged region there
was in 1890 a total population of
82,356, in the pfoportion of four
region contained at the last
census 7,747 farms, with a total
which 420,000 were improved. Of
this last mentioned area 213,000
acres, or over one-half, were last
year devoted to -cottor, over
91,000 acres to corn, 6,060 acres
to sugar cane, 2,000 acres to hay
and an inconsidorable acieage to
other crops. ~The total value of
these farms, including fences and
buildings, but exclusive of their
movable equipment was in 1890
close upon $11,000,000 and the
valne of the implements and ma-
chifery upon them was over
$600,000.: On January 1, of this
year, they contained live stock to
the value of $1,500,000, and so
lately as the first of March they
were estimated to have still on
hand about $800,000 worth of the
crop of last season. The total
value of the farms submerged by
the breaks in the levees that have
occurred since the 10th inst.. with
their farm implements, live stock
and crops on hand, is therefore
close upoh $14,000,000. This
region produced last year nearly
100,000 bales of cotton, over
9,000,000 pounds of sugar, over
1,300,000 bushels of corn, besides
hay, potatoes, cats and other
minor products, the entire pro-

products of this region last yeu
were 466,056 bales of cotton,worth
$16,312,060; 12,525,645 bushels of

Arccent bulletin of the N. C.
Experiment Station which is now
being distributed, is No. 133, en-
titled osome new forage, fiber
and other useful plants.� This
bulletin describes a variety of
new plants which have been
tested and their value is reported.
Among the more important of
the kinds that are promising and
worthy of more general use, are
the cowpea» of the oUnknown�
aud oRea Ripper� varieties, bagy,
a new Japanese legumine recent-
ly imported, allied to Japan
clover, the Canada field pea, and
yetch. Among the plants that
haye recently been advertised
that do not promise well and are
not recommended, are the beggar
weed, so much planted in Florida,
the horse baan; saccaline; the
flat pea and canaigre. The latter
plant is grown in the arid climates
of the middle lower section of the
United States, Arizona and ad-
joining States, for use for tannic
avid. So far it hay not been found
of value in this State. Promising
fiber plauts are ramie and jute,
the former especially, and some of
the roots are being distributed
for co-operative testing 10 the
eastern section of the State, where
it promises to be of considerable
va'ue in rich lowlands aad in rice

drawback heretofere has been that

T'be class that builds up a town
and country, and enjoys life and
makes the best citizens, are the
euternrising and liberal men who
beleive in living aad let others
live, and who, when they get a
dollar, donTt squeeze it until the
goddess of liberty feels as if a cor-
get, laced to the last notch, would
feel more comfortable. Such
squeezing is what causes baid
times and stops the circulation of
the American eagle. If it were
not for our broadgauged, enter-
prising men it would be impos-
sible to build a prosperous city.
